James Staples’s “Beef and Beyond: Exploring the Meat Consumption Practices of Christians in India”

D. Mosse’s “South Indian Christians, Purity/Impurity, and the Caste System: Ritual in a Tamil Roman Catholic Community”

Moshe Blidstein et al.’s “The Ambivalence of Purification and the Challenge of Transformation in the Rites of Passage and in Early Christian Texts”

Anita Hannig’s “Spiritual Border Crossings: Childbirth, Postpartum Seclusion, and Religious Alterity in Amhara, Ethiopia”
